pegkerrNot much accomplished today, alas. I didn't do research reading at lunch, and tonight after putting the girls to bed (we're still reading from Goose Chase), I reconciled my checkbook. It was irritating to snitch from my writing time to do that, but it had to be done. And at least I didn't squander the time doing LiveJournal. As I'm doing now.
But I did squeeze in some more research reading after finishing with the checkbook, more of Icy Pleasures. About 20 minutes worth. Still haven't gotten to anything directly on point: I'm reading about the history of ice skating, tobogganing, and sleighing in 19th century Minnesota.
Notes: Life stress is up, and partly as a result of that, I'm feeling frustrated, guilty at how little I'm accomplishing with the writing, and somewhat impatient. Research reading takes time, even if you read as quickly as I do. And since I have so little time to call my own, I feel impatient about all these blind alleys.
I probably should start doing my light box again pretty soon, after daylight savings time ends. Only when will I have time?
